- Yersiniosis is the third most reported foodborne illness in the EU, prompting a study on healthy pigs in Bulgaria to assess the prevalence of pathogenic Yersinia.
- A total of 601 pigs were tested, revealing that 6.7% of their tonsils and feces contained pathogenic Yersinia, specifically bioserotype 4/O:3, with significant genetic homogeneity among isolates.
- The bacteria were mostly susceptible to several antibiotics but resistant to ampicillin, indicating a low prevalence in healthy pigs while still posing a potential risk for pork contamination for consumers.
